Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 13, 2026 | Applies to: birova-yivobo.info

This Privacy Policy describes how Birova Yivobo ("we," "us," or "our"), operating at birova-yivobo.info, collects, uses, discloses, and protects information obtained from visitors and users of this website. This policy is written in accordance with applicable United States federal privacy regulations including the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. § 45) and, where applicable, state privacy laws including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA), the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), and the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA).

What information do we collect from visitors?

We collect two categories of information: information you provide voluntarily, and information collected automatically when you visit our website.

Information you provide voluntarily includes: your full name, email address, phone number, US climate region, and any message or question you submit through our contact or enrollment interest forms. We also collect information you include in any email correspondence sent to [email protected].

Information collected automatically includes: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, time spent on pages, and general geographic region (country/state level). This information is collected through standard web server logs and analytics tools including cookies and similar tracking technologies. See our Cookie Policy for a full breakdown of tracking technologies used.

We do not collect sensitive personal information such as financial data, government identification numbers, health information, or biometric data.

Why do we collect this information and how is it used?

We use collected information for the following purposes:

Responding to inquiries: When you submit a contact or enrollment form, we use your name, email, and message to respond to your specific question or request.

Program communications: If you have expressed interest in enrollment, we may send informational emails about the curriculum, program updates, or relevant content. You may opt out of these communications at any time.

Website improvement: Aggregated, anonymized usage data helps us understand which content is most useful, how visitors navigate the site, and where we can improve the educational experience.

Legal compliance: We may retain certain records as required by applicable law, tax regulations, or in connection with a legal dispute.

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Who do we share your information with?

We share personal information only in the following circumstances:

Service providers: We may share data with third-party vendors who assist in operating this website and delivering our services. These include web hosting providers, email service platforms, and analytics providers (such as Google Analytics). These parties are contractually obligated to use data only for the purpose of providing services to us and are prohibited from using it for their own commercial purposes.

Legal requirements: We may disclose information when required by law, in response to a valid subpoena, court order, or government request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our legal rights or the safety of users or the public.

Business transfers: If Birova Yivobo is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

How long do we retain your personal data?

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Contact form submissions are typically retained for up to two years for the purpose of ongoing correspondence. Enrollment interest data is retained for the duration of the enrollment period and up to one year thereafter. Analytics data is retained in accordance with the default settings of our analytics platform, which is typically 26 months for individual-level data and indefinitely for aggregated reports.

Upon request, we will delete or anonymize your personal information unless we are required to retain it for legal or regulatory compliance purposes.

What rights do you have regarding your personal information?

Depending on your state of residence, you may have the following rights under applicable US privacy laws:

Right to know: You may request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you (available under CCPA/CPRA and similar state laws).

Right to delete: You may request that we delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions permitted by law.

Right to correct: Where we maintain inaccurate personal information about you, you may request that we correct it.

Right to opt out of sale/sharing: We do not sell personal information. However, if you believe your information has been shared in a way that constitutes a sale under your state's law, you may contact us to opt out.

Right to non-discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any privacy right described here.

California residents have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to limit use of sensitive personal information (though we do not collect such information) and the right to obtain a portable copy of your data.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 45 days as required by applicable law, or notify you if we require an extension.

How do we protect your information?

We implement reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These include HTTPS encryption for data transmission, access controls limiting who within our organization can access personal data, and regular review of our data handling practices.

No method of electronic storage or transmission is entirely secure. While we take data security seriously, we cannot provide an absolute guarantee of security. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify affected users as required by applicable state breach notification laws.

Does this website use cookies and tracking technologies?

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the consent tool accessible via the icon in the bottom-right corner of the page.

Is this website intended for children?

This website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information through this website, please contact us at [email protected] and we will delete that information promptly. This policy is consistent with the requirements of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), 15 U.S.C. § 6501 et seq.

This website may contain links to external websites not operated by Birova Yivobo. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites and encourage you to review their privacy policies independently. The presence of a link does not constitute an endorsement of the linked site's content or privacy practices.
